Reading 364-13; November 17, 1932

(Q) Are the places designated for the beginning of the five races correct?

(A) As we find, these are changed, in that: Those in the Gobi, the yellow. The white—rather in the Carpathians than India, though this is the change to which they are made. The red, of course, in the Atlantean and in the American. The brown in the Andean. The black in the plain and the Sudan, or in African.

(Q) Where was the Carpathian region?

(A) Aarat.

(Q) Where is the location? Is it on the map today?

(A) Southern part of Europe and Russia, and Persia and that land. Caucasian mountains.

(Q) Why was the number five selected for the projection of the five races?

(A) This, as we find, is that element which represents man in his physical form, and the attributes to which he may become conscious from the elemental or spiritual to the physical consciousness . . .

(Q) Did the appearance of what became the five races occur simultaneously?

(A) Occurred at once.

(Q) Describe the earth’s surface at the period of the appearance of the five projections.

(A) This has been given. In the first, or that known as the beginning, or in the Caucasian and Carpathian, or the Garden of Eden, in that land which lies now much in the desert, yet much in mountain and much in the rolling lands there. The extreme northern portions were then the southern portions, or the Polar Regions were then turned to where they occupied more of the tropical and semi-tropical regions; hence it would be hard to discern or disseminate the change. The Nile entered into the Atlantic Ocean. What is now the Sahara was an inhabited land and very fertile. What is now the central portion of this country, or the Mississippi basin, was then all in the ocean; only the plateau was existent, or the regions that are now portions of Nevada, Utah and Arizona formed the greater part of what we know as the United States. That along the Atlantic board formed the outer portion then, or the lowlands of Atlantis. The Andean, or the Pacific coast of South America, occupied then the extreme western portion of Lemuria. The Urals and the northern regions of same were turned into a tropical land. The desert in the Mongolian land was then the fertile portion. This may enable you to form some concept of the status of the earth’s representations at that time! The oceans were then turned about; they no longer bear their names, yet from whence obtained they their names? What is the legend, even, as to their names?

(Q) Are the following the correct places? Atlantean, the red.

(A) Atlantean and American, the red race.

(Q) Upper Africa for the black?

(A) Or what would be known now as the more western portion of Upper Egypt for the black. You see, with the changes—when there came the uprisings in the Atlantean land, and the sojourning southward—with the turning of the axis, the white and yellow races came more into that portion of Egypt, India, Persia and Arabia.

Reading 5748-2; May 28, 1925

Now, as we see, as given, how and what the classifications were of the physical in the earth’s plane at that period, the numbers then of human souls in the earth plane being a hundred and thirty and three million (133,000,000) souls. The beginning then of the understanding of laws as applied from man’s viewpoint being in this second rule in the country now Egypt. The rule covering the period of a hundred and ninety and nine (199) years, and the entity giving the chance to the peoples, for the study being in the twenty and eighth (28th) year, when [he] began to gather the peoples together for this and surrounding himself with those of that land and of the various lands wherein the human life dwelled at that period. The numbers of the people that came together for the purpose then numbering some forty and four (44).

The Courts as were made were in the tents and the caves of the dwellers of the then chosen priest from the Arabian or Tibetan country, who came as one among those to assist with the astrologer and the soothsayers of the desert of now the eastern and western worlds, and with this the conclave was held for many, many, moons. The period in the world’s existence from the present time being ten and one-half million (10,500,000) years, and the changes that have come in the earth’s plane many have risen in the lands. Many lands have disappeared, many have appeared and disappeared again and again during these periods, gradually changing as the condition became to the relative position of the earth with the other spheres through which man passes in this solar system.

The first laws, then, partook of that of the study of self, the division of mind, the division of the solar systems, the division of man in the various spheres of existence through the earth plane and through the earth’s solar system. The Book of the Dead, then, being the first of those that were written as the inscribed conditions necessary for the development in earth or in spirit planes. These, as we see, covered many various phases. About these were set many different ones to give the interpretation of same to the peoples in the various spheres that the individuals dwelled in that came together. Hence the difference in the manner of approaching the same sacrificial conditions in the various spheres, yet all using the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, as the emblems of the conditions necessary for the knowledge of those elements as enter in; same as the fish representing the water from which all were drawn out, as we would see from the various changes.

GC: You will have before you the reading given on the psychic work of Edgar Cayce, present in this room, on the afternoon of 5/28/25, and you will continue with this reading regarding the information of the first laws concerning man’s relation to Higher Forces, giving this in an outline manner and how this was given to the people.

EC: Yes, we have the information as given and the conditions as surrounded the giving of the first laws as regarding the indwelling of Higher Forces in the earth’s plane, and man attempting to make application of same.

Now as we see, we have the general outline of those conditions of man in the earth plane at the period or age, as is judged from man’s viewpoint, of this gathering as caused by the second ruler of the peoples that dwelled in that portion of the earth’s plane, now known as Egypt. There is to be considered, now, also those conditions under which man, as man, lived during that period in the various spheres in which man dwelt. In that land we find the peoples comparatively free from the invasion of the beasts of the field, save those as were being used for man’s development and for the use of man as servant or as man’s beast of burden. While we find in the now Tibetan country, then the land of the many waters, the indwelling of those of many beasts whom man had to defend self against. Again in the Mongoloid region many others of the species and nature that were destructive to man’s indwelling in many ways. Also those in Caucasia, or the lighter or whiter peoples. Also in the land of the plains in the Northern spheres in the Western portion of the earth’s plane, many beasts and many conditions, and man then [was] in the way of having a different understanding, for different conditions were to be met, as were also in the Southern portion.

Then, as these were gathered from the five nations, we find the subjects of those pertaining to manifestations of the development of man and man’s ability to cope with the conditions, and the forces wherein men were given their supremacy over the other conditions in the earth’s plane. And the first as was given by the ruler was, then, [that] the force that gives man, in his weak state, as it were, the ability to subdue and overcome the great beasts that inhabit the plane of man’s existence must come from a higher source. Hence the first law of self-preservation in the physical plane attributed to Divine or Higher Forces. Just as the elements adding to the betterment of man’s condition in the earth plane, we have then the rudiments of that as was taught. Hence began, as given, the study of the indwelling of that other than man’s physical prowess, yet there were many men of giant stature to meet the conditions as seen, yet the approach of that same force to some was reached through the power, heat, significance of Sun’s force, of Moon’s wane, of waters bringing forth all manners of organisms necessary for developments in the plane.

Then, we have the gathering together then of this group, from the farthest places—forty and four (44). As we see, [this number] will run through many numbers, for, as we find, there is the law pertaining to each and every element significant to man’s existence considered and given in one manner or form by the groups as gathered at this meeting.

We are through for the present.

[Background: Life reading given to a seventy-two-year old female who was told that she had once lived during the sinking of Lemuria.]

Reading 851-2; January 31, 1935

Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the American, during those periods when there were the changes that had brought about the sinking of Mu or Lemuria, or those peoples in the periods who had changed to what is now a portion of the Rocky Mountain area; Arizona, New Mexico, portions of Nevada and Utah.

The entity then was among the princesses of the land that established there the teachings of the Law of One, from the activities in the land which had brought destructive forces through the separations from those things that made for the love of the individual for the gratifying of selfish motives.

Then the entity established what may be called the home life in that land, as each home became then as the castle of place of worship—or activities that were separated, yet united in one as for purposes. The name then was Ouowu.

[Background: Life reading given to a forty-three-year old male who was told that he had once had a pre-Atlantis incarnation as well as an incarnation in Atlantis.]

Reading 877-1; April 3, 1935

Before that we find the entity was in that land now known as the Mongoloid [GD’s note: He looked very Chinese, remarkably so considering he had no such physical heritage.], during those periods when there were the advances in the activities in that portion of one of the higher lands of civilization during that experience. For the entity then was a Prince of that land, sending to the various lands for the messages that were being given by the teachers in the varied lands; making for a betterment for the peoples that the entity, in the name Muzuen, came to be the ruler or the leader of.

During those activities of the entity, many were the warnings that the entity gave to those peoples for their rebellious influence that arose, that later made for the devastating influences of the sands overcovering much of that in the Gobi land.

In the present from that sojourn, those things pertaining to the earlier activities of the peoples have a particular interest, and especially as to the laws pertaining to what later became the developments of what may be said to have been the beginnings of statuary, or the beginnings of those activities that make for conveniences within the home and its relationships to the service of same.

Before that we find the entity was in that known or called the Atlantean land, and in the city of Poseidia did the entity reside, during those periods when there were the first of the destructive influences used by the sons of Belial and those that were in authority that made for the using of the influences that were for the increasing of the activity of the peoples for destructive influences.

The entity made the attempts to save much of that which was consummated by those peoples; and there are many things within the entity’s inner self often that have almost found expression in what might be made for the crystallizing of the influences of the sun through the crystal that then controlled the motivative forces in the experience of the entity.

Reading 509-1; February 5, 1934

Before this we find the entity in that land now known as the American, during the periods when the Lemurian or the lands of Mu or Zu were being in their turmoils for destruction.

And the entity was among those that—in what is now not far from that land in which the entity in this sojourn first saw the light—(that must in the near future fade again into those joinings with the land of Mu)—established a temple of worship for those that escaped from the turmoils of the shifting of the earth at that particular period.

The entity, in the name Oeueou, established near what is now Santa Barbara the temple to the sun and the moon; for the satellite of the moon had not faded then, and there was enjoined as to the entity in the worship as the goddess to the moon and the sun.

The entity brought good and evil with this worship, for the necessity of the repopulation of the land brought to those peoples—with that which the entity had established in the soul’s relationships of life—dissension, and, at last, dispersement of those peoples to that portion which later, much later in the affairs of the earth, became not only the destructive forces to those that journeyed from the land of promise but those that journeyed from the Atlantean land and became those that met with the peoples, centuries later, in the central portion of what is now United States.

[Background: Reading given on the topic of Atlantis.]

Reading 364-3; February 16, 1932

Yes, we have the subject and those conditions. As has been said, much data has been received from time to time through psychic forces as respecting conditions in or through the period, or ages, of this continent’s existence. That the continent existed is being proven as a fact.

Then, what took place during the period, or periods, when it was being broken up? What became of the inhabitants? What was the character of their civilization? Are there any evidences of those, or any portion of, the inhabitants’ escape? The position of the continent, and the like, must be of interest to peoples in the present day, if either by inference that individuals are being born into the earth plane to develop in the present, or are people being guided in their spiritual interpretation of individuals’ lives or developments by the spirits of those who inhabited such a continent. In either case, if these be true, they are wielding—and are to wield—an influence upon the happenings of the present day world.

The position as the continent Atlantis occupied, is that as between the Gulf of Mexico on the one hand—and the Mediterranean upon the other. Evidences of this lost civilization are to be found in the Pyrenees and Morocco on the one hand, British Honduras, Yucatan and America upon the other. There are some protruding portions within this that must have at one time or another been a portion of this great continent. The British West Indies or the Bahamas, and a portion of same that may be seen in the present—if the geological survey would be made in some of these—especially, or notably, in Bimini and in the Gulf Stream through this vicinity, these may be even yet determined.

What, then, are the character of the peoples? To give any proper conception, may we follow the line of a group, or an individual line, through this continent’s existence—and gain from same something of their character, their physiognomy, and their spiritual and physical development.

In the period, then—some hundred, some ninety-eight thousand years before the entry of Ram into India—there lived in this land of Atlantis one Amilius [?], who had first noted that of the separations of the beings as inhabited that portion of the earth’s sphere or plane of those peoples into male and female as separate entities, or individuals. As to their forms in the physical sense, these were much rather of the nature of thought forms, or able to push out of themselves in that direction in which its development took shape in thought—much in the way and manner as the amoeba would in the waters of a stagnant bay, or lake, in the present. As these took form, by the gratifying of their own desire for that as builded or added to the material conditions, they became hardened or set—much in the form of the existent human body of the day, with that of color as partook of its surroundings much in the manner as the chameleon in the present. Hence coming into that form as the red, or the mixture peoples—or colors; known then later by the associations as the red race. These, then, able to use in their gradual development all the forces as were manifest in their individual surroundings, passing through those periods of developments as has been followed more closely in that of the yellow, the black, or the white races, in other portions of the world; yet with their immediate surroundings, with the facilities for the developments, these became much speedier in this particular portion of the globe than in others—and while the destruction of this continent and the peoples are far beyond any of that as has been kept as an absolute record, that record in the rocks still remains—as has that influence of those peoples in that life of those peoples to whom those that did escape during the periods of destruction make or influence the lives of those peoples to whom they came. As they may in the present, either through the direct influence of being regenerated, or reincarnated into the earth, or through that of the mental application on through the influences as may be had upon thought of individuals or groups by speaking from that environ . . .

To be continued.

[Background: Reading given on the topic of Atlantis.]

Reading 364-4; February 16, 1932

Yes, we have the subject here, The Lost Continent of Atlantis.

As the peoples were a peaceful peoples, their developments took on rather that form—with the developing into the physical material bodies—of the fast development, or to the using of the elements about them to their own use; recognizing themselves to be a part of that about them. Hence, as to the supplying of that as necessary to sustain physical life as known today, in apparel, or supplying of the bodily needs, these were supplied through the natural elements; and the developments came rather in the forms—as would be termed in the present day—of preparing for those things that would pertain to what would be termed the aerial age, or the electrical age, and supplying then the modes and manners of transposition of those materials about same that did not pertain to themselves bodily; for of themselves was transposed, rather by that ability lying within each to be transposed in thought as in body.

In these things, then, did Amilius [?] see the beginning of, and the abilities of, those of his own age, era, or period, not only able to build that as able to transpose or build up the elements about them but to transpose them bodily from one portion of the universe to the other, through the uses of not only those recently re-discovered gases, and those of the electrical and aeriatic formations—in the breaking up of the atomic forces to produce impelling force to those means and modes of transposition, or of travel, or of lifting large weights, or of changing the faces or forces of nature itself, but with these transpositions, with these changes that came in as personalities, we find these as the Sons of the Creative Force as manifest in their experience looking upon those changed forms, or the daughters of men, and there crept in those pollutions, of polluting themselves with those mixtures that brought contempt, hatred, bloodshed, and those that build for desires of self without respects of others’ freedom, others’ wishes—and there began, then, in the latter portion of this period of development, that that brought about those of dissenting and divisions among the peoples in the lands. With the attempts of those still in power, through those lineages of the pure, that had kept themselves intact as of the abilities of forces as were manifest in their activities, these builded rather those things that attempted to draw back those peoples; through first the various changes or seasons that came about, and in the latter portion of the experience of Amilius [?] was the first establishing of the altars upon which the sacrifices of the field and the forest, and those that were of that that satisfied the desires of the physical body, were builded.

Then, with the coming in or the raising up of Esai [?], with the change that had come about, began in that period when there were the invasions of this continent by those of the animal kingdoms, that brought about that meeting of the nations of the globe to prepare a way and manner of disposing of, else they be disposed of themselves by these forces. With this coming in, there came then the first of the destructive forces as could be set and then be meted out in its force or power. Hence that as is termed, or its first beginning of, explosives that might be carried about, came with this reign, or this period, when man—or men, then—began to cope with those of the beast form that overran the earth in many places. Then, with these destructive forces, we find the first turning of the altar fires into that of sacrifice of those that were taken in the various ways, and human sacrifice began. With this also came the first egress of peoples to that of the Pyrenees first, of which later we find that peoples who enter into the black or the mixed peoples, in what later became the Egyptian dynasty. We also find that entering into Og, or those peoples that later became the beginning of the Inca, or Ohum [Aymara’?], that builded the walls across the mountains in this period, through those same usages of that as had been taken on by those peoples; and with the same, those that made for that in the other land, became first those of the mound dwellers, or peoples in that land. With the continued disregard of those that were keeping the pure race and the pure peoples, of those that were to bring all these laws as applicable to the Sons of God, man brought in the destructive forces as used for the peoples that were to be the rule, that combined with those natural resources of the gases, of the electrical forces, made in nature and natural form the first of the eruptions that awoke from the depth of the slow cooling earth, and that portion now near what would be termed the Sargasso Sea first went into the depths. With this there again came that egress of peoples that aided, or attempted to assume control, yet carrying with them all those forms of Amilius [?] that he gained through that as for signs, for seasons, for days, for years. Hence we find in those various portions of the world even in the present day, some form of that as was presented by those peoples in that great development in this, the Eden of the world . . .

Ready for questions.

(Q) Please give a description of the earth’s surface as it existed at the time of Atlantis’ highest civilization, using the names of continents, oceans and sections of same as we know them today?

(A) As to the highest point of civilization, this would first have to be determined according to the standard as to which it would be judged—as to whether the highest point was when Amilius [?] ruled with those understandings, as the one that understood the variations, or whether they became man made, would depend upon whether we are viewing from a spiritual standpoint or upon that as a purely material or commercial standpoint; for the variations, as we find, extend over a period of some two hundred thousand years (200,000)—that is, as light years—as known in the present—and that there were many changes in the surface of what is now called the earth. In the first, or greater portion, we find that now known as the southern portions of South America and the Arctic or North Arctic regions, while those in what is now as Siberia—or that as of Hudson Bay—was rather in that region of the tropics, or that position now occupied by near what would be as the same line would run, of the southern Pacific, or central Pacific regions—and about the same way. Then we find, with this change that came first in that portion, when the first of those peoples used that as prepared for the changes in the earth, we stood near the same position as the earth occupies in the present—as to Capricorn, or the equator, or the poles. Then, with that portion, then the South Pacific, or Lemuria [?], began its disappearance—even before Atlantis, for the changes were brought about in the latter portion of that period, or what would be termed ten thousand seven hundred (10,700) light years, or earth years, or present setting of those, as set by Amilius [?]—or Adam.

We are through for the present.

[Background: Reading given on the topic of Atlantis.]

Reading 364-6; February 17, 1932

GC: You will have before you the material and information given through this channel on the lost continent of Atlantis, a copy of which I hold in my hand. You will answer the questions which I will ask regarding this:

EC: Yes, we have the information as written here, as given. In following out that as just given, with these changes coming in the experience of Amilius [?] and I [Ai? Ay?], Adam and Eve, the knowledge of their position, or that as is known in the material world today as desires and physical bodily charms, the understanding of sex, sex relationships, came into the experience. With these came the natural fear of that as had been forbidden, that they know themselves to be a part of but not of that as partook of earthly, or the desires in the manner as were about them, in that as had been their heritage.

Were this turned to that period when this desire, then, becomes consecrated in that accomplished again in the virgin body of the mother of the Son of man, we see this is then crystallized into that, that even that of the flesh may be—with the proper concept, proper desire in all its purity—consecrated to the living forces as manifest by the ability in that body so brought into being, as to make a way of escape for the erring man. Hence we have found throughout the ages, so oft the times when conception of truth became rampant with free-love, with the desecration of those things that brought to these in the beginning that of the knowledge of their existence, as to that that may be termed—and betimes became—the more, or morality of a people. Yet this same feeling, this same exaltation that comes from association of kindred bodies—that have their lives consecrated in a purposefulness, that makes for the ability of retaining those of the essence of creation in every virile body—can be made to become the fires that light truth, love, hope, patience, peace, harmony; for the are ever the key to those influences that fire the imaginations of those that are gifted in any form of depicting the high emotions of human experience, whether it be in the one or the other fields, and hence is judged by those that may not be able, or through desire submit themselves—as did Amilius [?] and I [?] to those elements, through the forces in the life as about them.

Ready for questions.

(Q) Who was [I]? [Ai? Ay?] [GD’s note: “I” or “Ai” [or whatever spelling] we understood to be a proper name and not the pronoun I.]

(A) It’s been given!

(Q) In relation to the history of Atlantis as presented, at what period did the flood as recorded in the Bible in which Noah took part, occur?

(A) In the second of the eruptions, or—as is seen—two thousand—two-two thousand and six [22,006?]—before the Prince of Peace, as time is counted now, or light years—day and night years. Not light years as the akashic records, or as the esoteric records, or as counted by astrology or astronomy, in the speed or the reflection of a ray of light; for, as records are made, the akashic records are as these: Activity of any nature, as of the voice, as of a light made, produced in the natural forces those of a motion—which pass on, or are upon, the record of that as time . . .

(Q) How large was Atlantis during the time of Amilius?

(A) Comparison, that of Europe including Asia in Europe—not Asia, but Asia in Europe—see? This composed, as seen, in or after the first of the destructions, that which would be termed now—with the present position—the southernmost portion of same—islands as created by those of the first (as man would call) volcanic or eruptive forces brought into play in the destruction of same.

(Q) Was Atlantis one large continent, or a group of large islands?

(A) Would it not be well to read just that given? Why confuse in the questionings? As has been given, what would be considered one large continent, until the first eruptions brought those changes—from what would now, with the present position of the earth in its rotation, or movements about its sun, through space, about Arcturus, about the Pleiades, that of a whole or one continent. Then with the breaking up, producing more of the nature of large islands, with the intervening canals or ravines, gulfs, bays or streams, as came from the various elemental forces that were set in motion by this charging—as it were—of the forces that were collected as the basis for those elements that would produce destructive forces, as might be placed in various quarters or gathering places of those beasts, or the periods when the larger animals roved the earth—with that period of man’s indwelling. Let it be remembered, or not confused, that the earth was peopled by animals before peopled by man . . .

(Q) What were the principal islands called at the time of the final destruction?

(A) Poseidia and Aryan [?], and Og [?].

Reading 262-39; February 21, 1933

HLC: Please advise me regarding the preparation and presentation of the article or story which I am preparing on the Great Congress held during the age of the destruction of the enormous animals that once roamed the earth. [See 364-4.]

(A) In the period when this became necessary, there was the consciousness raised in the minds of the groups, in various portions of the earth, much in the manner as would be illustrated by an all-world-broadcast in the present day of a menace in any one particular point, or in many particular points. And the gathering of those that heeded, as would be the scientific minds of the present day, in devising ways and means of doing away with that particular kind or class of menace.

As to the manner in which these gathered, it was very much as would be were the Graf [Graf Zeppelin?] to start to the various portions for those that represented, or were to gather those that were to counsel, or were to cooperate in that effort. And, as this, then, was in that particular plane or sphere that then was in the land which has long since lost its identity, except in the inner thought or visions of those that have returned or are returning in the present sphere, the ways and means devised were as those that would alter or change the environs for which those beasts were needed, or that necessary for their sustenance in the particular portions of the sphere, or earth, that they occupied at the time. And this was administered much in the same way or manner as were there sent out from various central plants that which is termed in the present the Death Ray, or the super-cosmic ray, that which many are seeking into which will give their lives much, from the stratosphere, or cosmic rays, that will be found in the next twenty-five years. This presented, then, in such a manner, and drawing upon the varied conditions that existed in the various portions of the land then occupied by man.

(Q) What was the date B.C. of this gathering?

(A) 50,722.

(Q) Were there any outstanding methods of destruction developed which I have not mentioned?

(A) Draw on these that we have given here.

(Q) Were any countries represented which I have not named?

(A) Og.

(Q) Who was the general leader for this congress?

(A) One with the nomenclature Tim.

(Q) Of what land or country?

(A) Poseidia, from Atlantis.

Reading 5249-1; June 12, 1944

As to the experiences, in the Atlantean land the entity was the time-keeper for those who were called things, or the servants, or the workers of the peoples and the entity felt latent and manifest, as in the present, the wanting to reform, to change things, so that every individual soul had the right to freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of activity. For to the entity, even in those periods of man’s unfoldment (for this was before Adam), the entity found during its activities the desire to improve, to make better those environs for the workers of that period. That alone brought into the entity’s consciousness man’s position, the need of a pattern. And the entity saw, the entity felt the need of God’s hand in what evil, or Satan, had brought in the earth. Don’t forget that! Whatever may be thy position in this present experience!

Through the experience the entity gained.

In the experience which followed this, we find the entity was in the Indian land or in those periods of Saad as the leader, the ruler. The entity was then what would be called the secretary of state, or in the inner group of the leader Saad, that made for contacts or associations with or agreements with other lands.

The entity then was among those who were of that group who gathered to rid the earth of the enormous animals which overran the earth, but ice, the entity found, nature, God, changed the poles and the animals were destroyed, though man attempted it in that activity of the meetings.

In the one before this we find in that day when there was the destruction to the elements of earth [Atlantis?], then in now the Peruvian countries, when the lands disappeared in the low places and the entity was left alone in the higher mound to which the entity had then gone for its study. In the name then of Oumu. In the personality exhibited in the present, the ever fear in the deep recesses of self of destruction coming to many suddenly.

[Background: Reading given to a forty-eight-year-old female who was told that she had once had a lifetime in Atlantis during the period of its destruction.]

Reading 1257-1; August 28, 1936

Before that we find the entity was in the Atlantean land, during those periods when there had been the first of the upheavals through the destructive forces that brought first a fear, a wonderment, and then the seeking for those things that would quiet not only for the material but for the mental and spiritual welfare of the peoples.

Hence the entity was among those that attempted to make for the better understandings in the classes or castes, or those that were the teachings [teachers?] and those that were of the peasantry—or those as laborers. This made for great hardships from material, yet brought into the experience of the entity during that sojourn the greater blessings and greater developments.

So may the activity in self in the present be in giving to others, and thus find the greater joy, the greater peace, in this experience.

The name then was Aammeen.

Reading 1604-1; June 2, 1938

Before that we find the entity was in the Yucatan or Mayan land, when there were those activities that destroyed the Atlantis land—or that portion of the Poseidian isle or city.

The entity was among those who journeyed to other lands, knowing much of the activities of the sons of Belial as well as the precautions and warnings that had been issued by the children of the Law of One.

Hence we find the entity was among those who in the early portions of that material sojourn entered into the new buildings, the new activity that became destructive because of the influences from the land of Og and On, and the activities that arose in the western portion of that particular period of sojourn.

For there, during the entity’s experience, was the upheaval which settled so much in portions of that now known as the southwestern U.S.A.

In the experiences then the entity rose to that position of the priestess of the sacrificial activity. Much blood flowed by the hand of the entity during that sojourn.

Yet these are influences and forces in the present in which there is the desire to bring greater understanding and ease, and the very lack of such in the experiences of those whom the entity may contact.

Reading 288-1; November 23, 1923

In the one before this we find in that fair country of Alta, [according to the readings, Alta was a ruler, a scribe, just before the third destruction of Atlantis.] or Poseidia [GD’s spelling based on Poseidon in Greek Mythology.] proper, when this entity was in that force that brought the highest civilization and knowledge that has been known to the earth’s plane, and this entity was one of those who lent much assistance to the developing of those forces that made the common peoples that they became the assistance in the knowledge as obtained. Again we find the entity in that sex as given, and was in the household of the ruler of that country. [This body (not physically) will be present when the earth is changed again, see? See 288-29, Par. 8-A expanding on “when the earth is changed again.”] This we find nearly ten thousand years before the Prince of Peace came, and this entity then found the destructive forces to life in the misapprehension of those who were attempting to be of assistance, and not by their fault was the catastrophe brought; yet not until the entrance into the land of the unknown did this entity come to the realization of this as truth, and in the affliction as brought to the physical were the personalities and manifestations of same brought through to the sphere at present.

Reading 288-29; April 16, 1932

(Q) In Atlantis, was I associated with Amilius? [See [364] series.] If so, how?

(A) One as projected by that entity as to a ruler or guide for many, with its associating entity.

(Q) What is meant by “yet not until the entrance into the land of the unknown did this entity come to the realization of this as truth, that not by their fault was the catastrophe brought”? [See 288-1.]

(A) In the experience the entity then as twofold, and much of the waywardness by many accredited to the acts of the entity, for there was then the forming of thoughts that became material activities, and the passing into the unknown, or from the physical to the spiritual realm, gave the entity that knowledge that those contentions arose much within the inmost self of many that the entity not responsible for. Hence, as given, with the passing, the knowledge that they—or the entity—not wholly responsible, yet in the next [Egypt: Ra-Ta Period] as an entity in the realm where contentions arose, and the entity the center, or the physical manifestation of a contention brought into physical being by the union of that as was uppermost in expression of the entity itself in the former material activity. Then, the physical reactions brought for the body those positions or conditions as surrounded same. Well that the entity, or all, know that the law of love, or love as law, is cause and effect; or each impulse has its own corresponding reaction in thought, life, mental, physical and material. Not understood by some! This: “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” [Gal. 6:7] Each thought, as things, has its seed, and if planted, or when sown in one or another ground, brings its own fruit; for thoughts are things, and as their currents run must bring their own seed.

(Q) How long after I lived in Atlantis did the destruction come?

(A) Depends upon which destruction! There was the beginning of the destruction in the latter portion of the entity’s physical sojourn there.

[Background: Reading given to a fifty-nine-year-old female who was told that she had once had a lifetime in Atlantis during the period when earth changes had separated the continent into islands.]

Reading 884-1; April 9, 1935

Before that we find the entity was in that land now known or spoken of as the Atlantean, during those days when there were the attempts of those to bring quiet, to bring order out of chaos by the destructive forces that had made for the eruptions in the land that had divided the lands and had changed not only the temperate but to a more torrid region by the shifting of the activities of the earth itself.

The entity then was among the princesses of those peoples when there were the divisions of those that were to be the rulers, those that were to be the laborers, those that were to administer the rulings of the ruler upon those that would be ruled.

Being among the princesses of him that made for the rulings over the land at the time, in the name Ahasus, the entity made for that of bringing to her own peoples the greater understandings, and especially those that had followed in the way of the Law of One—or that manifested in the present as the Christ Consciousness, or the sons of Adam that had joined themselves with the sons of God, and as the sons of Adam that—with Amilius—had made the records of those things whereby there might be the cleansing of the body from the pollutions of the world, or of the animal kingdom.

The entity aided in bringing not only material gains but the glories of the experience builded in the experience much of the abilities for purifying through harmonious music—those harmonious influences that were a portion of the entity’s activities later in its Persian sojourn.

[Background: Reading given to a thirty-one-year-old female who was told that she had once had a lifetime in Atlantis during the period of the second destruction when the continent had been separated into three islands.]

Reading 958-3; June 28, 1940

Before that the entity was in the Atlantean land during the period of the second breaking up, when the islands—or Poseidia—became the main portion of the activities.

And those very experiences that brought destructive forces bring about the tendencies in the present for the extremes, and the hardships that have been and will be a part of the experience through this sojourn.

Not that these will always be material conditions, for they—too—will pass.

In that experience the entity was among the children of the Law of One who accepted and forsook much of those activities because of its close associations and companionships with one of the sons of Belial.

This brought consternation to the entity, and also those influences the application or use of which brought destruction to the land. And Poseidia will be among the first portions of Atlantis to rise again. Expect it in sixty-eight and sixty-nine (‘68 and ‘69); not so far away!

From the activities and experiences of the entity in that sojourn, we find that hardships, pleasures, extremes of most natures, will be a part of the entity’s activity in the present.

Those that brought destructive forces were the extravagant use of self, as well as of the abilities and activities, with those of questionable conditions and experiences.

The name then was Es-Se-Es.

[Background: Reading given regarding the possibility of creating some type of commercial enterprise at Bimini.]

Reading 996-1; August 14, 1926

TBH: You will give a reading on Bimini Island, located in the Atlantic Ocean, about 45 miles almost due east of Miami, Dade County, Florida. You will go over this island, and tell us whether there is oil on this island in sufficient quantities to insure profit. If so, give us the log of the formations that would be gone through in drilling to the oil sand, depth of the well necessary to reach the oil production, also tell us if there are any treasures buried on this island. If so, when were they buried, and where can they be located, and to whom do they belong at this time?

EC: Yes, we have the land known as Bimini, in the Atlantic Ocean. In the formation of the land, we find this of the nature that would make the oil production very low, for this is of the coral structure in the greater part, but this is the highest portion left above the waves of once a great continent, upon which the civilization as now exists in the world’s history found much of that as would be used as means for attaining that civilization.

Then, as to treasures, there are many that are hidden, also those that may be made remunerative—from physical conditions and structure of this body of land—among those larger buried treasures—that consists of gold, bullion, silver, and of plate ware, or beaten ware—this was made a cache on the higher portion of the isle from the cove as enters island from the south and west from that portion direct from Miami. This, as we see, was in eighteen thirty-nine (1839), and under these conditions:

In the trade and exchange of peoples as were brought to the western world, many being located in that now known, and then known, as James River. Among these was one, Bill Desmond, who took charge of the schooner, or yacht, or boat, that had landed such a cargo, by that of mutiny, and robbing the store-keeper in that settlement nearly opposite from Jamestown, escaped down the coast on the ninth (9th) day of March, eighteen thirty-nine (1839), and on the twenty-second (22nd) was shipwrecked in this isle, and with four others escaped to this isle with the ill-gotten gains. The building in which these lived for a time was erected on this promontory above the cove from timbers that were gathered from the wreck. On the thirty-first (31st) of the month the cache was made in the side of the abode in which these men took refuge. One died of snake bite. Another was poisoned by berries as grew on the hill above the spring that still shows in this place. The two remaining were the ones who fell out over the division of the spoils, and after this wounding one attempted to escape to the mainland—lost in the surf, only a portion of the loot being taken, and that returned, with much other, to the cache by Desmond, whose remains are in that vault. The amount here would amount, in coin, at present, to near a hundred and twenty thousand (120,000) gold coin, and much silver and of specie from the containers would amount to near as much more.

As for other treasures, many in greater or lesser quantities may be located in and about the isle. Some are inaccessible. Others not worth the expense of probing, or of obtaining permission for probing. As to whom they belong, at this day, to the government, whom owns this land.

We are through.

In the one before this in the land known as that of Atlantis, the Entity was a teacher among the people of that period, and among those destroyed in the overflow of the land, and again will the Entity be in Earth’s sphere when a change comes to same. In the name of “Isshuta” the Entity lost through this experience through fear, created in own self by that misleading when the truth was known in the present innate. Fear often hinders.

[Background: Reading given on the Mayan civilization and how it had been influenced after the destruction of Atlantis.]

Reading 5750-1; November 12, 1933

HLC: You will give an historical treatise on the origin and development of the Mayan civilization, answering questions.

EC: Yes. In giving a record of the civilization in this particular portion of the world, it should be remembered that more than one has been and will be found as research progresses.

That which we find would be of particular interest would be that which superseded the Aztec civilization, that was so ruthlessly destroyed or interrupted by Cortez.

In that preceding this we had rather a combination of sources, or a high civilization that was influenced by injection of forces from other channels, other sources, as will be seen or may be determined by that which may be given.

From time as counted in the present we would turn back to 10,600 years before the Prince of Peace came into the land of promise, and find a civilization being disturbed by corruption from within to such measures that the elements join in bringing devastation to a stiffnecked and adulterous people.

With the second and third upheavals in Atlantis, there were individuals who left those lands and came to this particular portion then visible.

But, understand, the surface was quite different from that which would be viewed in the present. For, rather than being a tropical area it was more of the temperate, and quite varied in the conditions and positions of the face of the areas themselves.

In following such a civilization as a historical presentation, it may be better understood by taking into consideration the activities of an individual or group—or their contribution to such a civilization. This of necessity, then, would not make for a complete historical fact, but rather the activities of an individual and the followers, or those that chose one of their own as leader.

Then, with the leavings of the civilization in Atlantis (in Poseidia, more specific), Iltar—with a group of followers that had been of the household of Atlan, the followers of the worship of the one with some ten individuals—left this land Poseidia, and came westward, entering what would now be a portion of Yucatan. And there began, with the activities of the peoples there, the development into a civilization that rose much in the same matter as that which had been in the Atlantean land. Others had left the land later. Others had left earlier. There had been the upheavals also from the land of Mu, or Lemuria, and these had their part in the changing, or there was the injection of their tenets in the varied portions of the land—which was much greater in extent until the final upheaval of Atlantis, or the islands that were later upheaved, when much of the contour of the land in Central America and Mexico was changed to that similar in outline to that which may be seen in the present.

The first temples that were erected by Iltar and his followers were destroyed at the period of change physically in the contours of the land. That now being found, and a portion already discovered that has laid in waste for many centuries, was then a combination of those peoples from Mu, Oz and Atlantis.

Hence, these places partook of the earlier portions of that peoples called the Incal; though the Incals were themselves the successors of those of Oz, or Og, in the Peruvian land, and Mu in the southern portions of that now called California and Mexico and southern New Mexico in the United States.

This again found a change when there were the injections from those peoples that came with the division of those peoples in that called the promise land. Hence we may find in these ruins that which partakes of the Egyptian, Lemurian and Oz civilizations, and the later activities partaking even of the Mosaic activities.

Hence each would ask, what specific thing is there that we may designate as being a portion of the varied civilizations that formed the earlier civilization of this particular land?

The stones that are circular, that were of the magnetized influence upon which the Spirit of the One spoke to those peoples as they gathered in their service, are of the earliest Atlantean activities in religious service, we would be called today.

The altars upon which there were the cleansings of the bodies of individuals (not human sacrifice; for this came much later with the injection of the Mosaic, and those activities of that area), these were later the altars upon which individual activities—that would today be termed hate, malice, selfishness, self-indulgence—were cleansed from the body through the ceremony, through the rise of initiates from the sources of light, that came from the stones upon which the angels of light during the periods gave their expression to the peoples.

The pyramid, the altars before the doors of the varied temple activities, was an injection from the people of Oz and Mu; and will be found to be separate portions, and that referred to in the Scripture as high places of family altars, family gods, that in many portions of the world became again the injection into the activities of groups in various portions, as gradually there were the turnings of the people to the satisfying and gratifying of self’s desires, or as the Baal or Baalilal activities again entered the peoples respecting their associations with those truths of light that came from the gods to the peoples, to mankind, in the earth.

With the injection of those of greater power in their activity in the land, during that period as would be called 3,000 years before the Prince of Peace came, those peoples that were of the Lost Tribes, a portion came into the land; infusing their activities upon the peoples from Mu in the southernmost portion of that called America or United States, and then moved on to the activities in Mexico, Yucatan, centralizing that now about the spots where the central of Mexico now stands, or Mexico City. Hence there arose through the age a different civilization, a mixture again.

Those in Yucatan, those in the adjoining lands as begun by Iltar, gradually lost in their activities; and came to be that people termed, in other portions of America, the Mound Builders.

Ready for questions.

(Q) How did the Lost Tribe reach this country?

(A) In boats.

(Q) Have the most important temples and pyramids been discovered?

(A) Those of the first civilization have been discovered, and have not all been opened; but their associations, their connections, are being replaced—or attempting to be rebuilt. Many of the second and third civilization may never be discovered, for these would destroy the present civilization in Mexico to uncover same!

(Q) By what power or powers were these early pyramids and temples constructed?

(A) By the lifting forces of those gases that are being used gradually in the present civilization, and by the fine work or activities of those versed in that pertaining to the source from which all power comes. For, as long as there remains those pure in body, in mind, in activity, to the law of the One God, there is the continued resource for meeting the needs, or for commanding the elements and their activities in the supply of that necessary in such relations.

(Q) In which pyramid or temple are the records mentioned in the readings given through this channel on Atlantis, in April, 1932? [[364] series]

(A) As given, that temple was destroyed at the time there was the last destruction in Atlantis. Yet, as time draws nigh when changes are to come about, there may be the opening of those three places where the records are one, to those that are the initiates in the knowledge of the One God: The temple by Iltar will then rise again. Also there will be the opening of the temple or hall of records in Egypt, and those records that were put into the heart of the Atlantean land may also be found there—that have been kept, for those that are of that group. The records are one.

[Background: Reading given the Glad Helpers Prayer Group. This reading discusses ancient Egypt around 10,500 B.C. The readings suggest that after the third and final destruction of Atlantis, Egypt became the cradle of knowledge and civilization and that Edgar Cayce himself had lived at that time as a high priest named Ra Ta.]

Reading 281-42; November 1, 1939

This Priest [Ra Ta] was not merely the director of the spiritual counsel of that body of people who entered Egypt, but of that activity in which all phases of man’s endeavor were, in the experience, being acted upon.

What was the knowledge, the motivating force in the experience of that individual? Was he a prophet sent, as ye look upon the teachers through the various eras or ages of man’s endeavor? Or was he an individual with an idea that grew, under the law, into an ideal?

In interpreting this we will find many questions, that may have oft disturbed many, may be answered as respecting those groups, those individuals who may be even in the remotest sense interested at present in the psychic work of the man called Cayce.

The Priest was an individual who had received inspiration from within. And, realizing that such an influence or force might be given to others in their search for why and what were their purposes in material life, he then sought out one who might foster such a study in materiality.

Thus, from those places that were a portion of what is now called the Carpathias, he came with a great horde, or a great number (as to individual souls, numbering nine hundred), into the land now called Egypt.

Why Egypt? This had been determined by that leader or teacher (not physical leader, but spiritual interpreter or guide) as the center of the universal activities of nature, as well as the spiritual forces, and where there might be the least disturbance by the convulsive movements which came about in the earth through the destruction of Lemuria, Atlantis, and—in later periods—the flood.

What were the factors, ye ask, which determined this in his mind? or from what concept did the entity gain that knowledge? Was it just a concept, just a revelation, just a physical analysis, or what?

When the lines about the earth are considered from the mathematical precisions, it will be found that the center is nigh unto where the Great Pyramid, which was begun then, is still located.

Then, there were the mathematical, the astrological and the numerological indications, as well as the individual urge.

Ye say, then, such an entity was a god! No. No—ye only say that because there is the misunderstanding of what were the characters or types of spiritual evolution as related to physical evolution in the earth at that period.

As an illustration (this merely illustrating, now): It is hard for an individual, no matter how learned he may be, to conceive of the activities that exist only three miles above the earth. Why? Because there are no faculties within the individual entity in the present capable of conceiving that which is not represented within his individual self.

Yea—but the individual of that period was not so closely knit in matter. Thus the activities of the realms of relativity of force, relativity of attraction in the universe, were an experience of the souls manifesting in the earth at that period, see?

Thus we find that the experiences of individuals of the period, seeking for the understanding as to the evolution of the souls of men, might be compared to the minds of individuals in the present who are seeking an understanding as to man’s use of physical or atomical structure in his own relationships.

Then, the individual of that experience or period was not necessarily one other than a soul or entity seeking the knowledge as to the relationship of that which would sustain and gain for man the abilities not only to continue the physical evolution but the spiritual or soul evolution as well.

Such an one, then, was Ra—or Ra-Ta.

[Background: Reading given to an eighteen-year-old male who was told that he had been one of the pharaohs in Egypt during the Ra Ta period.]

Reading 341-9; June 2, 1925

GC: You will have before you the Life Reading given on [341] on February 28, 1925 [341-8], on the earthly existence in Egypt as Raaaart, and the associations with same. You will tell us at what period, as counted by man, in the world’s history this was, and what the entity accomplished at this time.

You will then have before you the individuals, as I name them, and you will tell us whether or not these individuals lived in Egypt at this time, and if they were associated with this entity, and in what capacity.

EC: Yes, we have this sojourn in the earth’s plane. This is rather A-r-a-a-r-a-a-r-t [GD’s note: In the suggestion GC pronounced it R, then spelled the rest and in the first paragraph EC spelled the name again, as he did in 341-8], and the time as we find is, as counted by man, eleven thousand and sixteen (11,016) years before the Prince of Peace came into this land.

As to that accomplished, we find this in one of the highest civilizations of this country in its present position, for we find this same country had been submerged for nearly a quarter of a million years since the civilization had been in this portion of country, and the peoples as had overrun the country in the various changes by invasions from the east and north, and this ruler, Araaraart, being then the second of the northern kings, and followed in the rule of the father, Arart, and began the rule, or took the position as the leader in his sixteenth year and ruled over these peoples for ninety-eight years. The country, as we find, was brought to a higher state of understanding with the surrounding nations, and there was much of the religious ceremonies practiced in this time, much of this being brought in from the northern country and of the religions as existed in this same country through the religion of that of the one taken as the companion, for there were many taken, and with the unearthing of the tribal rites and ceremonies, the coalition of these truths we find were correlated with these peoples as were gathered about this ruler, and much of the architectural forces were set in motion. As we see, the first foundations of the emblematical condition as is set in the sphinx was begun in this rule, for this, as we see, has remained the mystery of the ages.

In the accomplishments then, we have as these in Araaraart. This: Much of the sealing of the peoples’ abilities in being drawn together for benefits of the masses rather than classes, for we find, though this ruler worshiped by many, yet remaining much in that same spirit as is found in the better classes of the ones serving Higher Forces than self, which is service to fellowman. The monuments as were unearthed and added to from time to time, we find are some still existent, though many buried beneath shifting sands. Others underneath sands that became the bed of the seas that overflowed this country.
